240 Litre Stocking Level

stubs · Oct 8, 2011

Hi all,

I have had my tank (Roma 240) up and running for 3 months now and all is going very well, my current stocking is the following:

12 Pentazona barb
6 Fireline tetra
6 Embre Tetra
2 Dwarf gourami neon blue
10 Red Eye Tetra
5 Glowlight Danios

My question is what do you guys think my current stock level is, the stock calculator ( I have heard this is not reliable) is at 100% but I have had other fish keepers tell me I could add more fish?

I am confused so any help is appreciated

you dont really have anything on the bottom, so you could get away with half a dozen corys, if you have sand, or a smooth gravel substrate.

You've not told us about your filtration, so that would be a key element to your question if you want answers.

#41#### yes of course, I have the Fluval 305.

I tend to find the barbs are predominately in or around the bottom!
